Built For

Whether you're running a business, serving clients, or doing the work inside a company — the course is shaped around your context.

Freelancers & Consultants

Take on more clients without hiring. An AI employee handles research, first drafts, admin, and client updates — the parts of the business you didn't start the business for.

SOLO // 1–5 PEOPLE

SMEs & Small Teams

Compete without a 50-person ops team. Automate the repetitive work your team does every week — email, reporting, content, customer replies — so your people can focus on work that moves the business.

TEAMS // 5–50 PEOPLE

In-House Professionals

Marketing, ops, HR, management — AI is already reshaping your role. Be the person who directs it, not the one replaced by it. Bring an AI employee to your own work and lead how your team adopts AI.

EMPLOYEE // ANY ROLE

> CURRICULUM

12 WEEKS 48 HOURS 5 PHASES

Twelve weeks, one hands-on arc. You'll start by understanding AI, build a workspace around it, and finish by hiring an AI employee that handles real work for you. Every week, you walk out with something you can use at work the next day.

FOUNDATION WK 01–04
Understand AI and build your personal workspace
WK 01

How AI actually works

Stop guessing. Start understanding.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Understand what AI can and can't do — so you stop over-trusting or dismissing it
  • Compare Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini side by side and know which to reach for
  • Spot when AI is making things up (hallucinating) — and verify before you act
  • Write a capability audit for your own role: where AI helps, where it doesn't

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

You'll walk out knowing which of your daily tasks AI can actually help with — and which ones it'll mess up.

WK 02

Prompting foundations

The difference between “meh” and “whoa” is how you ask.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Write prompts that consistently get useful, specific results — not generic fluff
  • Use techniques like chain-of-thought, role prompting, and few-shot examples
  • Get AI to output in any format: email, table, bullet points, briefing doc
  • Build a personal prompt library of 10 templates for tasks in your role

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

That report that takes you 2 hours? Your prompt library will have a template that gets a solid first draft in 5 minutes.

WK 03

Prompting for images and video

Direct AI like a creative partner, not a slot machine.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Generate professional images with control over style, composition, and mood
  • Create consistent visual assets for a brand or project — not random one-offs
  • Produce short AI video clips and storyboards for social media or presentations
  • Understand copyright and licensing for AI-generated visuals

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Need a presentation illustration, social media graphic, or product mockup? You'll make it yourself in minutes — no designer needed for everyday visuals.

WK 04

Your AI workspace

Stop repeating yourself. Build an AI that already knows you.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Set up an AI workspace (Claude Project, ChatGPT GPT, or Gemini Gem) that knows your role, voice, and context
  • Install pre-built skills that turn multi-step tasks into one-click commands
  • Connect your workspace to Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, or other tools you already use
  • Browse skill and prompt marketplaces — and know what's worth installing

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Instead of explaining your job to AI every single time, you'll have a workspace that already knows who you are, what you do, and how you like things done.

APPLICATION WK 05–07
Apply AI to research, writing, visuals, and marketing
WK 05

Research, writing, and AI detection

From messy question to polished document — without sounding like a robot.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Use AI research tools to investigate any topic with cited sources
  • Write long-form content that sounds like you, not like AI — using an anti-slop checklist
  • Catch and fix AI's worst writing habits: blandness, sycophancy, and context drift
  • Understand the AI detection landscape — what detectors catch, what they miss, and when to disclose

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Your next research brief, proposal, or report — you'll go from question to finished document in a fraction of the time, and it'll actually sound like you wrote it.

WK 06

Image and video deep dive

Professional visuals and video — without a design team.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Create consistent campaign-quality image sets (not just one-off generations)
  • Build a reusable visual style guide that keeps all your AI-generated assets on-brand
  • Animate images into short video clips for social media and presentations
  • Know which visual AI tools are worth paying for — and which free tiers are good enough

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

You'll produce a full week's worth of on-brand social media graphics and a short video clip in a single sitting.

WK 07

AI-powered social media and marketing

An entire content system — not just one post at a time.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Build an end-to-end AI marketing pipeline: research → create → repurpose → schedule → analyse
  • Generate platform-specific posts for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, X, and email
  • Set up a “mission control” workflow where AI proposes content and you approve or reject
  • Connect scheduling tools so approved content goes out automatically

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

What used to take 4+ hours a week — researching, writing, designing, and scheduling posts — becomes a 45-minute review session. AI does the heavy lifting; you keep creative control.

MASTERY WK 08–09
Understand AI agents and build your own reusable skills
WK 08

AI agents

From clicking buttons to giving goals.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Understand how AI agents plan and execute multi-step tasks on your behalf
  • Evaluate different levels of AI autonomy — and choose the right level for each task
  • Design agent workflows for your real work: meeting prep, email triage, report generation
  • Set up guardrails and approval points so agents don't run unsupervised on high-stakes tasks

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

You'll have a working agent workflow that handles a recurring multi-step task — like prepping weekly reports — with you approving the important decisions.

WK 09

Building your own AI skills

Stop improvising. Build reusable systems.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Design and build custom AI skills tailored to your specific role and tasks
  • Test skills systematically — with normal inputs, edge cases, and peer stress-testing
  • Create skills that work both when you invoke them and when an agent uses them automatically
  • Share skills with your team or publish to a marketplace

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

You'll leave with 3 tested, production-ready skills for tasks you do every day and every week. Each one saves you 15–30 minutes per use — and they compound.

DEPLOYMENT WK 10–11
Hire and train your AI employee
WK 10

Your AI employee

An AI assistant that lives in WhatsApp, Slack, or your inbox.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Deploy an AI agent to a messaging platform you already use — WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, or email
  • Give it tasks via text message and get results back — like texting a capable employee
  • Write an “employee handbook”: what it can do autonomously, what needs your approval, what's off-limits
  • Run a probation period: check every output, then gradually increase trust

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Imagine texting your WhatsApp: “Summarise my unread emails and draft replies for the urgent ones” — and getting it done. That's what you'll build this week.

WK 11

Teaching your AI employee routines

It stops waiting for instructions. It starts working on its own.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Set up scheduled routines: morning briefs, weekly reports, daily email triage — all automatic
  • Build event-triggered automations: “when a new client emails, draft a reply and flag it”
  • Use no-code tools (Zapier, Make) to connect your AI employee to any work tool
  • Track ROI: measure hours saved per week and quality of automated outputs

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Monday morning, before you've opened your laptop, your AI employee has already prepped your meeting briefs, triaged your inbox, and drafted your weekly report. You just review and approve.

CAPSTONE WK 12
Present your AI employee and what it actually did for you
WK 12

Your AI employee's performance review

Show what you built. Steal what others built. Keep going.

> AFTER THIS WEEK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Present your complete AI system: workspace, skills, routines, and real performance data
  • Stress-test your setup with peer feedback — and steal the best ideas from classmates
  • Evaluate your AI employee honestly: what it handles well, where it still needs you
  • Join the AI With Darren community for ongoing learning, prompt sharing, and monthly challenges

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

You'll walk out with a fully deployed AI employee, a clear picture of the hours it saves you each week, and a community of peers who'll keep you sharp as AI evolves.

> WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
  • A personal AI workspace — configured for your role, voice, and daily tasks
  • 3+ custom-built AI skills — that automate your most repetitive work
  • A deployed AI employee — on WhatsApp, Slack, or email — handling real tasks
  • Automated routines — morning briefs, email triage, weekly reports — running without being asked
  • Real data — on how many hours per week your AI setup saves you
  • A community — of peers who keep you sharp as AI evolves
> HOW EACH WEEK RUNS
